Just a reminder that details concerning possibly living people should be sent by private message.

If you register quickly with Findmypast.co.uk then you should be able to get free access for 90 minutes tomorrow (9am Sunday till 9am Monday) as part of their offer during England's World Cup games. You can then access the Overseas BMD indexes and get the reference numbers to order the relevant certificates.

If there are entries in the army indexes of births, copies of certificates may be obtained from the GRO using the references given. You may find that a library/record office has access to a pay-per-view site.
